Overclocking results

[Vipernitrox]

ok thnx i'll try that.
changed my mind about the cpu clock though, going to try to get it to 3400 of maybe 3600.

Awesome. I would try a FSB frequency of 1800 with a 1:1 ratio. That'll put your CPU @ 3.6 and your RAM @ 900.

i was thinking about that... dunno if i'm willing to go that far...
afraid to fry my cpu what's the max voltage it can handle you think?

See how far you can get with a voltage of 1.45. Watch your temps. Considering the stock speed of that CPU, I'd be very happy with 3.2-3.4. The goal is to achieve the highest overclock, with the lowest amount of voltage.

i know, temps aren't my problem though.
40c at load right now

That's really good. What speeds are you currently running?

 

[Vipernitrox]

that was with 3.0 ghz at 1.4 volt
right now i've got it stable at 3.3 ghz 1.4750 volt
under load it get 47c now

i really want to get it to 3.4 or maybe if possible 3.6 with 1.5 volt.
i won't go any higher with the voltage so hopefully i get 3.6.
then i can try to set 900mhz for my memory

Cool. Remember, set the ratio @ 1:1.

ok i'm done oc'ing. Can't seem to get it to 3.4 but 3.3 is fine also.
my settings and temps after testing with prime 95 for 2 hours.

That extra chip in between the slots...I think is a 32mb usb memory chip that can be activated for us in Windows Vista to make it work faster. There is one on the Asus P5E board I'm looking at, but I can't find any data on whether or not it helps.

you're referring to some kind of flash memory on your motherboard.
this is something else, it's probably some kind of memory that regulates sli between the 2 videocard (if you have them) or something like that.
